About

In a world where anti-racism is mainstream, where racism is disavowed, and yet where ideas about race continue to structure and shape our realities, darkmatter gathers together and articulates critical thinking about race in the twenty-first century. Working within, outside and beyond the institutions and disciplines of the academy, darkmatter is a multimedia journal reconfiguring transnational anti-racist practice. For a discussion about the development of darkmatter, see our article: darkmatter: Racial Reconfigurations and Networked Knowledge Production [pdf].

Articles, reviews, commentary, digital and audio-visual texts are welcome. darkmatter content is either commissioned as part of Special Issues, or General Issues publishing unsolicited material on a rolling basis – please see the Submissions page.
